Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The matter of keeping money, or any item warranting unique verifiable tokens, secure and uncounterfeitable has been one with a long history. Though this may seem less of an issue in the modern day, counterfeiting persists as a real problem with traditional currency options, physical or otherwise. Starting in the 70’s and still developing, the idea has arisen to leverage quantum mechanical properties—foremost of which, in this case, is the extreme difficulty of copying—to create currencies that are much more difficult to counterfeit. This thesis considers the field that is quantum money, covering its origins and focusing on its public-key variant, exploring a key shortcoming of this technology—outside of physical limitations— and contributing to the furthering of the field, through the introduction of a novel efficient attack on a previously secure quantum money scheme.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
